QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 09:46 AM) I'd take a Pods for Carlos Lee trade again. Not with that contract he has. Houston can keep him at $16+ for 5 more years.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 12:25 AM) Brynes and Drew also need to get on base. Both guys are good base stealer's (Brynes had 50 and Drew was 12/12). There will be a big push for Owings in game 3 because of his last 2 outings where he has only surrendered 6 hits combined (Owings had 5 hits himself during the strech). He did that quietly.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 12:32 AM) He shouldn't be kidding. If KW believes what he says, then the Sox will not return to playoff contention under his leadership. He's espousing the SF Giants and Oriole organizational philosophy of signing aging players to deals that tie up the payroll and ignoring the minor league system. The Giants were famous for signing crappy free agents just so they didn't have to pay the signing cost of a first round pick. I guess declining arbitration on Riske was sign this was coming. I'm tired of hearing how this a championship core -- by that logic the Sox should bring back Timo Perez. Williams this season has repeatedly overpaid for aging mediocrity (Dye, AJ....) and is going to give a few million dollars to the likes of Ozuna and Mike Myers. That adds up -- to more than the cost of signing a decent draft choice. I miss the GM who was willing to trade Aaron Rowand. All of a sudden, when the team sucks, KW decides to become conservative. I agree with the general thought of the post, but you'd be very hard pressed to find a better deal on the market for a right fielder than the one the Sox got for JD. It's short, it's a reasonable salary, and Dye will likely outproduce many free agents on the market.

A see a CFer, middle infielder (be it SS or 2B), and one veteran reliever being brought in; I also see Garland being traded, and possibly Contreras. If Contreras is traded, there will be an open competition for 3 rotation spots, because I don't think Danks' job is guaranteed for next year (that trade went from being completely one-sided to being a pretty even trade, perhaps even better for Texas in a hell of a hurry). I just don't want to have to mentally connect the names Jeriome Robertson and John Danks any longer, so next year is a big year for Danks. If the middle infielder that's brought in is Eckstein, I'm going to flip s***.

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) He was talking about ARod. We are getting ARod, unless he stays with the Yankees. If he ends up somewhere beside the Yankees and it's not on the South Side, I will be extremely ticked off at Mr. Williams. So you really want to spend $30+ mill a year on ARod? Really???

I may just sport that because I'm in love with him ...and the milk that comes from his breasts

So why was this thread not up the previous 3 days when I came back from making a man out of myself?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 08:19 PM) You keep Uribe if you can upgrade the offensive player in CF and 2b. Would you have Richar on the MLB roster next year or playing in AAA once again?

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) I'd buy it for you if you took that sig down. Haha, I'm trying. Nobody seems to want to make me a sig; I even provided the pic I want to use. Everyone hates me.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 06:23 PM) I meant, on TV, who's calling it, and I was asking The Board, not just you. I don't expect the Rockies to be blown out or anything. In fact, I believe they'll stun Peavy and the Padres. But he is one hell of a card to draw. It's on TBS...not sure on anything more than that.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 06:18 PM) If the Sox bring in Bonds, I'll be the first to get his jersey. Not possible, there's no way you'd beat me.

Nobody that I'm aware of, but I think the game is going to be much closer than you think it is.

They are also playing in Coors. If they were playing in Petco, I'd just as well cancel the game.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 05:37 PM) Peavy? s***, poor Rockies, but this is fun. He's not undefeated

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 04:34 PM) And who do you suggest replace Jon... Someone not even half as talented who will cost 3 Mil more? No thanks... Keep Garland or we will not contend PERIOD! Johan Santana

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 04:08 PM) Just as long as Jon Garland is kept and Count shipped off we should be able to contend. There is no way on earth we can find a better or even comparable starter to Jon for the money we will be paying him. Hell Carlos Silva will more then likely get a minimum 14 Mil a year and he couldn't sniff Jon's jockstrap... Hopefully both of them are gone

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 03:53 PM) I hate the Bears right now, but bulls***... Haha I know Merely just talking records so I can make myself feel good about something.

The Bills are as good as the Bears

Congrats to Jimmy Rollins on having a 30-20-30-40 season. That's flat out incredible.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 08:53 AM) The Twins will be that much better just by getting rid of that dead weight joke Tori "Mr. Overrated who doesn't want to win" Hunter. He's such a loser and whatever team signs him will be disappointed. IMO if the Sox we're to sign him i'd have to boycott because they would be ensuring to be fighting the royals for the cellar for at least the length of his contract. Him and Johan ought to go to the same place since their both overrated and will never get a ring. Hunter because he doesn't want it enough (See Choking it in the playoffs every year on purpose because he's a loser) and Johan will never be on a good enough team. HUNTER IS A b**** AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUIN THIS TEAM! I'D RATHER HAVE OWENS, BA, and Sweeney then one second of Hunter the loser b****! :angry: I always love these posts

Please

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 02:28 AM) It's a shame college baseball doesn't get the pub that college basketball and football do. It's easy for people like greg to say "f*** the draft" when more than likely he has no idea who's gonna be in it in the first place, or who's good. greg, you know who Lebron James is, right? What if there was a HS or College kid projected to be as good at baseball as Lebron was projected to be in basketball. Would you rather see your team win meaningless games, or would you rather them lose so you could have a chance at a once in a generation talent? You wouldn't by chance be talking about Pedro Alvarez, would you?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 30, 2007 -> 02:38 AM) Kenny looks to become Brian Sabean. Hopefully only in the sense that he turns to Bonds to be the LFer in 2008... ...and only if Bonds has lactating breasts still

at this point, draft position is meaningless, because the best the Sox can do is 8, and the worst is 10; there's like absolutely no difference between those

that's gross
